PRIVACY POLICY

OUR COMMITMENT TO PRIVACY

Your privacy is important to us. At Clinical Massage MK, we will ask you for personal information so we can provide the services requested. We take the privacy of your personal information seriously and to better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our practices about the way your information is collected and used.

WHAT PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT AND WHY WE COLLECT IT

When you fill in a contact or comment form on any of our websites, you are asked to provide your name and email address. If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence.

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

When you complete a booking request via our booking system you provide us with personal information including your name, email address, personal address, phone number and some health information. We need this information for the smooth running of our massage service.

ONLINE PAYMENT

You also supply financial information via one of two third-party applications Stripe, Paypal and Sum Up. Stripe’s privacy policy can be found here, and PayPal’s here. All payment information will be taken through these payment processors. We are not exposed to and do not store any of your financial information.

ANALYTICS

Like many websites, we use Google Analytics to collect anonymous data about the users of our sites, such as how often they visit, what pages they visit, what time they visit, how long they stay, and what country they are visiting from.

This data is collected using cookies and from your IP address, and the resulting statistics are used for the following purposes:

  • Improving website usability
  • Tracking the success of marketing campaigns
  • Pattern analysis

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting this information by installing the Google opt-out browser add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

We also monitor customer browsing habits through a WordPress-developed capability called Jetpack. This will retain analytics about website use on the WordPress servers.

COOKIES

Cookies are small text files that are used to store small pieces of information. If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies.
